The following heat engines produce power of 95,000 kw. determine in each case the rates at which heat is absorbed from the hot reservoir and discarded to the cold reservoir. (a) a carnot engine operates between heat reservoirs at 750 k and 300 k. (b) a practical engine operates between the same heat reservoirs but with a thermal efficiency η = 0.35.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

The force on a cutting tool are 2600n vertically downward and 2100 horizontal. determine the resultant force acting on the tool and the angle at which it acts.

In general, how do thermosetting plastics compare to thermoplastics in mechanical and physical properties?
